Below, you would find our major work areas and core interests in which we've worked in the past; and our achievements and experiences this far. ﻿ ﻿﻿ Our films have been recognized as some of the best on Indian Heritage & Culture.

ANCIENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL WONDERS: Our Historic Heritage

Our world is full of mystery and wonder. Here and there in India, typically while traveling by road, you come across extremely ancient monuments, which have their own legends and stories associated with them. When our team is out on such a filming assignment, we aim at recreating the glorious golden past of the monument, and make it come alive. We explore the legends and myths surrounding it; talk to experts and local people, and take the viewers on epic journeys to lands which existed ages back in time.

We specialize in the production of unique archaeo-films, heritage films (historic, cultural & natural heritage), archaeo-travel films & travel shows.﻿ We have produced research films for India's premiere archaeological research organization-the Archaeological Survey of India,attached to the Ministry of Culture, Government of India.﻿

We've documented places hundreds of thousands of years old, even from the time of the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, which have stood the test of time. We filmed the places where the Panadavas spent their exile, the caves in which they rested, the place where they received salvation, etc, and researched and delved into the myths and the tales. What we have filmed has truly been a life changing experience.

﻿

Again, we visited and extensively filmed the 'Shiva-Parvati Vivah Sthala' (which translates to the marriage place of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati), situated high in the mighty Himalayas, where Lord Shiv is said to have been married to Godess Parvati, the magnificient and heavenly ceremony being witnessed by Lord Vishnu Himself, in the form of the 'TriYugiNarayan', or the 'Lord of Three Yugas (Ages)' (as mentioned in the ancient Skanda Purana).

Examination of our ancient sites and temples, in the light of the ancient texts and writings, thus forms an integral part of our work. Our researches have questioned the very tag "Mythology"on the ancient Indian epics- the Ramayana & the Mahabharata, presenting evidences to examine these are actual "historic documentations" of the times bygone, not merely fictitious accounts.

As another example, we extensively documented the ruins of Bhangarh and Ajabgarh in Rajasthan, famous the world over as haunted palaces. We thoroughly researched the legends and myths, documented the enchanting palaces and ruins, and dived deep into their scary pasts to take our viewers along with us for a tour into the hauntings. The film is in currently in production.

Our unique TV shows,"BHARAT DARSHAN:Exploring theUnexplored"and"Jambudweep: A Journey through Incredible India"﻿ have been documenting several such ancient sites; exploring their rich history and culture; their significance as mentioned in the ancient Indian texts and epics. The shows have been very popular with the highest TRP ratings in their categories.

TRAVEL SHOWS & TRAVELOGUES: Our Cultural Heritage

Each one of us at Sukhnidhey Films loves traveling, and that's why we know best how viewers can be deeply involved in our travel shows in a truly subjective sense. With this in mind, we have been visiting several parts of India, from the clear tricoloured waters of Kanyakumari in the south to the hostile climate at the KhardungLa & Kunzum Passes at 18,380 feet & 15,060 feet respectively in the north. We have been nearly everywhere in our vehicles, and along our journeys filmed unique cultures, ancient forgotten monuments, exotic wildlife, and above all the amazing spirit of traveling.

Our films have been recognized as some of thebest on Indian Heritage & Culture.﻿﻿

We feel what actually forms our strength is the fact that all of our workexplores an unexplored corner of the Incredible India, and takes the viewer along to experience the untouched and long forgotton places to live each moment as it was. And in the process of exploring the unexplored, we unearth several secrets that have remained hidden since ages. We specialize in the production of unique archaeo-travel films & travel shows.

Our travel shows have been telecast on India's national broadcaster

Doordarshan, also the world's largest terrestrial TV network, in prime time.

ENVIRONMENT & WILDLIFE CONSERVATION:Our Natual Heritage

Wildlife and Environment preservation is a hotly talked about issue: yet, we at Sukhnidhey Films believe there can be no better a medium than the audio visual medium of films and cinema to raise mass awareness.

What you see stays in your mind for a long time, instigating the viewers to contribute, not simply view and refute!

That's why we've been making films and short documentaries on wildlife, typically depicting lesser known but critically endangered species. As an example, we made a short titled, "Tal Chhapar: The Indian Savanna", which describes the often overlooked (and forgotten) saga of the Indian grasslands of Tal Chhapar in Rajasthan, home to the beautiful black bucks--the most graceful antelopes in the world and their story of revival from the very clutches of extinction thanks to efforts of local communities.

The film won several awards and was a National winner, was screened at the CineYouth National film festival in India, as a part of student filmmakers' awards, the film being directed and cinematographed by Devaang Jain, cinematographer at Sukhnidhey Films, and also at that time a final year B.Tech. Electronics & Communication engineering student.

Again, another one of our film titled, "Sariska: A Reserve, Reborn", proved the intial success of the world's first ever tiger relocation project in the Sariska Tiger Reserve in India, which lost all of its tigers to rampant poaching. We filmed the rarely seen behavior of relocated bengal tigers for the very first time on camera--the documentary included intimate shots of the tiger quenching its thirst, resting in water puddles, spray-marking its territory, etc. The film conclusively proved that the relocated tigers were indeed adapting themselves to the reserve. The film was critically acclaimed and well appreciated at the CMS Vatavaran Environment & Wildlife Film Festival.

Recently, the sighting of newborn tiger cubs in Sariska has indeed proved the success of this unique initiative.

CORPORATE and ADVERTISEMENT FILMS & DOCUMENTARIES

The power of the audio-visual media is now being realized worldwide, in a very fast variety of fields, and the corporate world is no exception. With the increasing need to communicate goals and messages effectively, in a shorter span of time, it is necessary to hold the audience's attention, where the audience may be clients worldwide.

Sukhnidhey Films has been making corporate films and documentaries with this goal of effective message communication and propagation in mind. We have made corporate films for MNCs like Qualcomm Inc., which honored us with the "World Class Quality in Film Production Award" for our documentary short, "How to Succeed at Qualcomm". The film descirbed the campus to corporate transition, and inculcates advices and tips to kickstart a successful career with a multi billion dollar organization like Qualcomm.

Some of the organizations we have worked for:

Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India

Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, Government of India

Broadcasting Corporation of India (The Prasar Bharti)

Doordarshan TV Channel (India’s National television network- also the world's largest)

OUR PHOTOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTATIONS﻿

We are deeply into still photography, and have been extremely honored to have our shots featured live on the official website of the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India in their "India Slideshow".

On the link above, you would be able to see slide shows of photographs by Rituraj Devaang Jain, our founder-cinematographer/filmmaker. Our works are frequently featured on the homepage of the Ministry's website.

Further, our wildlife photographs were also critically acclaimed as the Jury's choice finalists in the National Geographic's Moment Awards in Photography-2010, a nationwide contest in which 63 wildlife photographs were shortlisted from around three hundred thousand entries from around the country, 3 of which were ours in the finalists.

Our works have been the official selections of the Wildlife trust of India (WTI) on several events and occasions of particular, worldwide importance.
